  2. Woops, Geraldine, mine is very light this week. True and meaningful but on the light side.

    Thank you for the prompt, I enjoyed working with it a lot.

  3. Buying cheap vintage flea market cameras with old film in them is a fringe hobby.

    It gives a sort of view into past junctions of light, film, and the disruptions of heat, cold, oxidation, and cosmic rays.

    Sometimes the images are so quiescent that only digital thaumaturgy shows an appreciable subject.

    Other times foxing, bizarre colors, and ancient chemistry produce frames seemingly from Yellow Submarine.

  7. Geraldine,
    I didn't see a link at your blog for this one, but I have to say .. you outdone yourself. I truly enjoyed this, as I have cared, and still do, for the elderly.

  11. Sandy, it looks as though Mr. Linky has settled down so I finally got on board a little late. Happy MLK day to everyone - we have so much to be hopeful for but we all need to be involved in that hopeful future.
